A true professional. I have seen Dr G. Several times. I look forward to each interaction with this expert in orthopedic medicine. I am impressed. He has a knack for explaining your condition thoroughly. He Patiently and companionatly explained in detail my options for treatment. Backing up his evaluation by showing test results in MRI. I feel that I completely understand my situation. Dr. G is a clear, effective communicator. I trust him. Dr.G assessed the big picture of my Healthcare experience . He saw fit to offer me options for care not specific to his expertise but guided me and provided the means and avenues to promote my overall health. My experience is he exudes quality of patient care. Dr. Ganapathi is a quality asset of Banner healthcare. Thank you - keep doin what you do Venkatananarian. You're the best!

About Me

Care Philosophy
  • Dual fellowship trained in complex spinal surgery, I believe in a holistic approach to patient care by involving patients and their families in their treatment. I strongly believe in understanding a patient's problem in context with their lifestyle, circumstances and perspectives to enhance their understanding of medical problems and to reach realistic treatment goals and to meets their expectations.

    I strive to provide compassionate and loving "Patient-centered care". I have made an irrevocable commitment in my practice to treat every patient as my own kith and kin by making collaborative and informed decisions to achieve the best outcomes for my patients.

    Spinal surgery is more than technical excellence, and there is no better speciality than spine to apply the famous saying "good surgeons know how to operate, better ones when to operate, and the best when not to operate". I have always lived with that motto to do what is best for my patients. That is my commitment and my promise.
